[xmail] Re: From Field and Return Path

2002-03-25 Thread Paul Sobey
Hi Edinilson, XMail verifies the DNS domain of the sender in the SMTP envelope, not the From field inside the message header. The return path is part of the smtp transaction itself, and is sent before the actual text of the mail is delivered. The From: line is inside the message text, and is

[xmail] Re: filtering outgoing mails

2002-02-20 Thread Paul Sobey
Use a generic .tab filter and do the from domain processing in there. There's no current way to filter on from domain. On this topic, I'm in the middle of developing a perl module for my internal use called XMail::Filter. Currently it uses the MIME::Parser tools to take apart emails and add

[xmail] Check queue via ctrl

2002-01-03 Thread Paul Sobey
Hello everyone, I know that I can use the frozlist ctrl command to get a list of emails that have failed for one reason or another, but is there a similar way to check on emails that are in the queue awaiting delivery? Example - user sends email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and several hours later

[xmail] Initiate script based on from address?

2002-01-02 Thread Paul Sobey
Hi all, Is there a way to run a script based on the sender user/domain as opposed to the recipient? E.g. if I wish to run a script on all mail passing through the server from [EMAIL PROTECTED], can I do this, short of a filter which checks all messages? Cheers, Paul - To unsubscribe from this

Hello everybody, I am a recent convert to Xmail, and have deployed it onto my backup relay. Everything is working well, and I am keen to install the system on my production relay. Before I do however, I'd like to discuss my config with you, to make sure I am doing things right! Scenario: Lotus
